What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cargo apparatus for a bicycle, comprising:
 a cargo swing arm assembly;   the cargo swing arm assembly having a swing arm cargo area and a swing arm support in connection with one another, and a cargo frame;   a wheel rotably confined by the swing arm cargo area;   a suspension system; and   the cargo swing arm assembly in removable communication from a seat portion of a bicycle.   
     
     
         2 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cargo swing arm assembly and the swing arm support are in a one piece construction. 
     
     
         3 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cargo frame extends from the swing arm cargo area. 
     
     
         4 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein a combination of the swing arm cargo area and the cargo frame define a storage volume for equipment. 
     
     
         5 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the suspension system is extended from the swing arm support to the seat portion. 
     
     
         6 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , where in the suspension system is extended from the cargo frame to the seat portion. 
     
     
         7 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein an angle of the suspension system with respect to the cargo swing arm assembly is less than thirty degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the angle of the suspension system with respect to the cargo swing arm assembly is at least thirty degrees. 
     
     
         9 . The cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a suspension system first end is affixed to a support rib of one of the swing arm support and the cargo frame. 
     
     
         10 . A method of applying the cargo apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the cargo portion is vertically adjustable with a surface on which the cargo swing arm assembly traverses, at a location of the removable communication. 
     
     
         11 . A bicycle, comprising:
 a seat portion, with the seat portion having a handlebar, a front tire and a seat;   a cargo portion in removable communication with the seat portion; and   the cargo portion comprising:
 a cargo swing arm assembly; 
 the cargo swing arm assembly having a swing arm cargo area and a swing arm support in connection with one another, and a cargo frame; 
 a rear wheel rotably confined by the swing arm cargo area; 
 a suspension system; and 
 the cargo swing arm assembly in the removable communication from a seat portion. 
   
     
     
         12 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , wherein the cargo swing arm assembly and the swing arm support are in a one piece construction. 
     
     
         13 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , wherein the cargo frame extends from the swing arm cargo area. 
     
     
         14 . The bicycle of  claim 13 , wherein a combination of the swing arm cargo area and the cargo frame define a storage volume for a storage of equipment. 
     
     
         15 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , wherein the suspension system is extended from the swing arm support to the seat portion. 
     
     
         16 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , where in the suspension system is extended from the cargo frame to the seat portion. 
     
     
         17 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , wherein an angle of the suspension system with respect to the cargo swing arm assembly is less than thirty degrees. 
     
     
         18 . The bicycle of  claim 17 , wherein the angle of the suspension system with respect to the cargo swing arm assembly is at least thirty degrees. 
     
     
         19 . The bicycle of  claim 11 , wherein a suspension system first end is affixed to a support rib of one of the swing arm support and the cargo frame. 
     
     
         20 . A method of applying the cargo portion of  claim 11 , wherein the cargo portion is vertically adjustable with a surface on which the cargo swing arm assembly traverses, at a location of the removable communication.
